Punkfish Diving is a scuba diving operator based in Los Canarios, Canarias, offering guided dives, snorkel tours and SSI certification courses. The company runs shore and boat experiences around La Palma, using local dive sites shaped by recent volcanic activity. Punkfish Diving provides entry-level programs such as Basic Diver and Try Scuba, multi-dive experiences like “Un dia de buceo - Dos inmersiones,” and certification courses including Scuba Diver, Open Water Diver, and specialty SSI programs.
Courses and experiences range from short refreshers to multi-day certification programs. Specific offerings listed by Punkfish Diving include a 2.5-hour Inmersion de Refresh, a 5-hour Especialidad de Flotabilidad Perfecta SSI, a 1.5-day Scuba Diver course, and a one-day navigation specialty with two dives.

Safety and standards follow SSI course structures where indicated by course names. Instructional formats include theory, confined-shallow practice, and open-water dives as described in course summaries. Visibility at many local sites is noted as reaching up to 50 meters, and volcanic seabeds create distinctive underwater topography.
